Customer case
Toolox® 33 in knife support cuts downtime at recycling plant
March 01, 2022 6 min read
The challenge
Equipment for recycling plays a crucial role in environmental stewardship. And as any maintenance manager at a recycling plant knows, a healthy recycling business depends on healthy equipment. It’s no wonder, then, that managers view equipment uptime as their top priority. So when one manager’s wood recycling machine broke down after failure of the machine’s knife support, he started looking for a reliable solution.
The solution
The maintenance manager turned to Toolox® 33. The strength of Toolox®, combined with its superior properties in the workshop, made it the ideal solution. And since Toolox® 33 was available at the SSAB distributor Industrias Trimar, close to the recycling plant, machine downtime could be kept to a minimum.
Customer benefits
Toolox® brought the following benefits:
- Its low carbon content significantly increased machining speed.
- Its low stress level made it easy to achieve the close tolerances required by the support.
- Guaranteed high homogeneity within and between plates assured top quality.
SSAB’s unique quality control process — each and every plate is individually tested according to strict standards — ultimately helped the plant optimize its operations, benefiting both the environment and the business.
